Title: Battery health evaluation
Inventor: AED M DUDAR
IPC: G01R31/36
Filed: 2018-01-17
Abstract: Determining and responding to a vehicles battery health comprises: electrically loading 86 the battery upon determining that an ambient temperature equals or exceeds a first temperature 78; measuring the voltage of the battery during loading 88; determining a magnitude of a voltage plateau 89; and identifying the battery as inadequate upon determining that the magnitude of the plateau is less than a target value 90. After determining that the battery is inadequate the battery may be loaded again and a second measurement taken 94.
